The name resolution test module, Wsx_name.exe, resolves host names to addresses and resolves addresses to host names on multiple threads. This test module resolves random host names and random addresses as well as the target host name and target addresses. The test module exercises the Winsock layer, the underlying Winsock name service providers, and the networking stack. You can run this test module on both IPv6 and IPv4.
This test module does not require a server.
The following table shows the command line parameters for the Wsx_name.exe test module.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
-o |
Uses only the specified target host name and its addresses. If you specify this option, the test module does not resolve random names or addresses. |
-t threads |
Specifies the number of concurrent threads to use. |
This test module resolves the server name specified by the -server option for the Windows Embedded CE Stress tool harness. The test module also resolves the address of the target. In the command line for the harness, if you do not specify a value for the -server option, the default value of localhost instructs this test module to use the local computer name as the target. For more information, see Options for the Windows Embedded CE Stress Tool.
